Reading Room Document

Establishment of Office of Criminal Justice

The document discusses the informal establishment of the Office of Criminal Justice in 1964 and the lack of formalization through departmental orders or regulations. It also mentions that there have been no memoranda or directives issued relating to the Office of Criminal Justice. The conclusion reached in the document is that since there are no departmental regulations referring to the Office, publication of its abolition is not necessary, and an internal memorandum from the Deputy Attorney General stating that the Office of Criminal Justice is abolished would suffice. The questions presented for review include the lack of formalization of the Office of Criminal Justice and the absence of any memoranda or directives issued relating to the Office.
